Mindsets and strategies you need for success managing your money and the men you work with
-
Differences between genders when managing money and negotiating

How to ask for what you want
-
How your emotions affect your success with money and managing men

How Does Money Affect Genders?
Good:
-
More women are breadwinners than ever before.
-
More women have regained their jobs than men.
-
We have more women leaders than ever before.
Bad:
-
There is still a major pay gap; women make $0.77 to every dollar a man makes
-
Money issues are a major cause of divorce.
-
Women are vastly outnumbered in leadership positions.
Money has a lot more to do with emotions than your bank account. Money (and everything having to do with money) is about 50% emotion and 50% action. We need to start becoming aware of when a story relating to money is actually yours or someone else’s and then start changing the story.
Women need to become open to solutions. You can start by creating money management practices that are actually fun, finding money mentors and create your “A” Team. Talk to your spouse/significant other about money. Put yourself in situations where you can practice asking for more such as sales calls and negotiations.
